+# fuse_xattrs
 
-## Abstract
+This is a fuse filesystem that provides extended attribute (xattr)
+support over any filesystem by using "sidecar files", i.e. separate
+files that hold the extended attributes only, named by the same
+pathname as the attributed file or directory with an additional
+extension ".xattr".
 
-This filesystem provides xattr support using sidecar files.

 ## How to mount a filesystem
 
 Once fuse_xattrs is installed (see next section) running it is very simple:
 
-    fuse_xattrs mountpoint
+    fuse_xattrs source_directory mountpoint
 
 To unmount the filesystem:
 
     fusermount -u mountpoint
